  • totaled my toyota

    I was heading home with my girlfriend, decided to grab an exit earlier than mine to avoid traffic, a semi decides the same closer to the exit and starts switching lanes right as I'm coming. I slow down, honk a few times, and BAM he slams into my rear driver side door. Crushed it in, jammed the door, smashed the bottom frame into the tire, it will not spin at all.

    Called the cops, and did it take forever! I had to call twice! The second time they told me, "We have no notification of an accident in your area." Several cops passed by and nobody pulled over to help. Finally the cops came, we filed the report, took each others information and got my car towed home.

    It was pretty scary, the impact spun us about 90 degrees, the front bumper hit the concrete barrier head on, the front wasn't bad just some scratches.

    I'll take some pictures tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the car is totaled though. Don't know if you guys recall my other story a while back when a lady in a mercedes scraped my car in traffic, the accident this time was in the same location, go figure.

        I almost had the same thing happen to me on my last trip home from Pittsburgh... 3 lane highway, I'm in the right lane and a semi starts to merge over to get off on the exit. The guy had to have come within inches of hitting me before he realized it and swerved back.

        Glad to hear you're okay, but if the frame was bent at all, then you're right, it's probably totalled...

        and I can imagine how scary it was... how fast were you going when it hit you? At highway speeds anything can happen once there's a collision...

          Well I usually just do 70 ish on that car, when I was exiting and saw him come over I slowed down to about 40-50 and started honking, he stopped when I was close, but as I passed I felt the impact.

          I really don't know what he was thinking, I think he was trying to beat me to the lane or decided to continue after I passed.

          Now i have to result to the camaro for transportation, I'm going to call his company tomorrow and see what's up. Hopefully I can get a replacement DD, i really don't want the camaro for DD duty.

            I thought I was going to be reading sudden acceleration stuff. Glad to hear you're OK.

                LMFAO...watch, truck driver is going to claim your pedal was stuck and it was your fault cause he signaled and you drove into him :stp:

                weathers nice enough now that you can enjoy the camaro as a DD for a bit...I enjoy mine every day :D

                  i had a similar thing happen to me i was merging on to 79 and this ******* trucker was next to me, he thought thought that my land ended, but it didnt, and to be a **** he got really close to me, his truck was probably about 8" away from my hood
